Final restoration of the project will take place in spring 2013. At this time, there are no further lane closures.
The city of Albertville thanks residents for their patience and understanding during construction. "This project improves freeway access and mobility, and was necessary to preserve the functions of the freeway and local routes," Nafstad wrote.
